The young woman of only 23 lived in a small flat in a central zone of Urscol City.
It was 6am. A shirll alarm sounded throughout the flat. U30P (the woman) rolled over waking from a deep sleep. Throughout the apartment block she heard similar shrill alarm's sound through the wall's coming from neighboring flats.
She stumbled out of bed, she was wearing a plain cloth wrapped around her chest and some underwear. There were never cloths to sleep in. The only clothing citizens owned were the under clothes and the tight fitting, rubbery, elsatic red uniform every citizen was required to wear (unless you were under 12 years old)

Every second day the water was allowed to flow and showers were permitted.
As soon as U30P stepped out of her bedroom a sensor built into a projector machine attached to the roof detected her movement and the shrill alarm ceased to sound. However it activated the projector which sent the entire wall which is faced alight with moving pictures

Currently the Wallscreen (which it was called) was showing some large procession of Loyalty Squad citizens marching across Mirus Square trusting thier fists forward and into the air as they marched. The Loyalty Squad members were easily distigueshed for thier white arm bands tied.

U30P went into the bathroom and had a quick shower
(showers were restricted to every 2nd day)
Then she changed into the national uniforom of the tight fitting red suite followed by the Yellow sash she tightly fitted around her body
(which represented the Young Patriots Brigade)
She also pinned on a small blue button on her upper chest which represented she was a member of the League of Birth which dedicated themselves to producing as many children for the party as possible.

She placed a tight fitting cap on her head which covered her whole hair and she clicked a button on the back of the cap which would warm and dry her hair. She then fixed herself some breakfast in the meantime

Food always came in small white tubs. It was a kind of coloured paste which tasted bland but according to the party "Contained all the nutrients and vitamins needed for the day"

It was 6:25am U30P pulled off the cap. her flowing, thick black hair fell down the back of her head. its looked more fluffier and lighter then before.
She left the flat, locked the door with a pin number by slotting in her ID card in the door.

her neighbors also filed out of thier apartments and they all marched down five flights of stairs to the base where they exited the apartment and lined up on a small public square placed in the center of 3, 10 story high apartment blocks. The apartment blocks were quite intimidating structures, Black metalic square structures with black, tinted windows.

A Commbecon (small hovering, metalic orbs that blared out government messages) flew over the square and began shouting out in a stern, manly voice

'Hurry brothers and sisters! line up quickly! we must keep our health for the party so we can serve them for many, many years!'

U30P was standing next to a man who was probably twice her age. He must of been in his late 40's or early 50's. he was balding and looked quite gaunt. He was known by everyone to be a class D citizen most probably under 24 hour survelance for his "Eccentric and Abnormal behaviour"

U30P felt uneasy in his presence, she was a class A citizen, the most loyal of the loyal, an empty headed shell filled with party propaganda. She felt like the man would infect her with his acid thoughts and eccentricity

'Right brothers and sisters are you ready for your exercises? we have 15 minutes now. lets begind with star jumps, ready? 1, 2, 3, 4....'

The square all began doing star jumps in unison to the rythem of the Commbecons calling. U30P couldnt resist but look at the "eccentric" man beside her for any unenthusiasm. He was trying just like everybody else, maybe huffing and puffing a bit more then the rest but still appearing to give it his all.

For the rest of the 15 minutes they did various other exercises until the voice stopped abrupty from the Commbecon and it remained still in the air and a shrill voice of a woman began reading out community notices and government messages

It was 6:45 am. Long, boxy, grey transports began flying into the square. there were 3 of them. The people moved to the sides of the square for the 3 long grey box's had space to land.

People then began filing into them. U30P noticed the "Class D" man a few people ahead of her. She felt a big disgusted such a man was allowed to exist in her presence

'I should do my duty to denounce him!' she thought despite the fact she would only be going on rumours that the man was a class D citizen, she hadnt actually seen him behave in abnormally before but it would be enough to make him vanish

Inside the box, transporter it was dark and stuffy. small lights on the wall gave little light and there was no natural light. Box transporters were automated and drove to set area's. it only took a conductor to sit up front to push buttons of when to lift off and park.

U30P hadnt spoken to anybody since she had woken, she didnt feel any desire too, nothing eventful had happened. The only thing noteworthy that was to happen was that she would be spending some time at the "Hall of Procreation" where she would be assigned a sexual partner for the session to attempt to produce a child for the party.

She had only done this once a week for the last 3 weeks. she was a new member of the League of Births.
The Box transporter sped off away from the black, shiny, block apartments and closer to the city center.

.................................................................................................

(OOC: intimate love making 'implied' here if you think it might be offensive or something dont read on but nothing is explicit infact the only thing mentioned is a peck on the lips and feeling of U30P's face.... that is all)

U03P felt herslef decend towards the ground, the transporter was beginning to land.

On some wide Avenue just to the side of Mirus Square the transporters parked where the citizens in thier red uniforms filed out of the transporters.
They were in the direct heart of the city

Mirus square was a MASSIVE grand public square the largest on the planet of Urstania.
It was square in shape. a large wide avenue led up to the square and on the otherside facing the Opening of the avenue was a massivly tall structure talle the
Tower of URSCOL thought. at least 80 stories high. it was a souless, black silver pillar. Everything about this cities architecture was silver, dark and shiny. the roads were a made from a black metalic surface. in some area's they were a light colour.

Another structure on the square was the Hall of Procreation. It was like all the other buildings, dark, reflective and metalic. U30P headed for this building.

The entrace hall was as sterile as the outside. the colours were extremely light, the walls were as white as snow. A projector on the roof projected a Wall Screen opposite the waiting chairs showing the best methods of Procreation and the desirable outcome and child birth and other health notices about birth and child creation.

U30P sat in the chairs. she passed her ID card to a lady at the counter. she inserted it into a machine and it made a kind of racous humming noise.

'its just going to select a partner' said the lady at the counter

The party wanted to create a generation of pure human beings of handsome, strong and beautiful and attractive beings.
All members of the League of Birth had to match up to the standards of looks.

Black or dark hair was desirable
Woman with large chests, thin and large hips were desirable
Men with strong masculine figures and lots of muscle and stregnth were desirable
dark or brown eyes were desirable
a tan or olive skin was also desirable
clean, smooth skin with no marks or spots was also desirable

that was basically what you needed to get full acceptance in the League of Births

The machine stopped humming and it spat out an ID card into a small tray while U30P's ID card was pushed slowly out of the slot where it was handed back to U30P. The woman at the counter took the ID card and typed in some details in some holographic computer screen then placed the ID card in a draw of other neatly stored ID cards, a copy of U30P's was in one of those draws

The woman gave U30P's directions on which way to go to her "designated breeding partner"

she memorized the instructions and walked down the cold, well lit, white corridors until she reached a glass door which slid open
A camera above the door was focused on her. She walked in.

The glass doorslid closed behind her and all of a sudden the glass door turned a dark shadded colour so no one could see in or out. a voice came out of a speaker in the walls

'please remove your clothes and place them in the locker to your left'

It was no human voice. it was far to robotic sounding to be human.

She followed instructions. The room was very dark with dim lighting. there was a double bed with plain white sheets over it

'please wait, your designated breeding partner will arrive shortly'

she waited naked on the bed for a couple of minutes staring aimlessly around the room, she had no thoughts in her head except the thoughts of getting to work as soon as possible after this was over, she didnt even have any concerns over what her breeding partner would look like. The door opened.

A tall man entered. He had the Olive, tanned skin, deep brown eyes, black hair and had a strong moderatly muscle figure.
He didnt smile, he looked unenthusiastic as if this was just a regular routine.

He removed his clothes and walked over to the bed
he leant over U30P his eyes seemed to widen, he acknoledged her beauty, he gently brushed the side of her face with the back of his hand. He eyes were still fixed on her face, he was still admiring her beauty
she felt her face go red. the last 3 times she had been in this building she had experienced nothing so intimate, she felt some kind of strange shame or nagging guilt that she couldnt control her mouth from speaking

'have you ever done this before?' she asked him

'you mean visited this structure?' he said a bit confused by her outburst

'No i mean this' she grabbed his hand with her own

'No i havnt, dont you like it?' he said

'I dont know, I...' she couldnt finsih her sentence, they did thier "Duty to the party" more passionatly then she had ever done before. They dragged out the time a bit more then usual and then stayed in the small room.

It was never certain whether a camera monitored the room or not, though U30P hoped that this would be one part of her life that was not monitored

'Can you come back tomorrow?' asked the man who was hugging her more then any of her other "designated breeding partners"

'what!? no I mean, I'm busy, very busy...... But maybe we can meet up somewhere?' she replied but with each word that was suggestive, grew in the back of her head more nagging guilt of some kind

'The Hall of URSCOL history?' he said

'I can be there from Hour 12 to Hour 13' she said

'Good, meet me in the Mirus Records Hall' he said

they both got changed then unexpectedly he pecked her on the lips and he stepped out of the room, the glass door fadded and lost its black tint and became transparent again.

She was in a sort of shock
'should I denounce him, this was extremely abnormal behaviour!....But...'

she had some sort of attraction to him and wanted to meet. Still the nagging guilt was there, is this what the party would of wanted but she was still glad of what had happened to an extent.

She quickly left the building heading to her next place of work
.................................................................................................... .....

U30P was to head to a large building she was a instructor at a government childrens compound.

All chindren were taken at birth to these compounds and raised till the age of 18 where they are assigned a job and flat.

There were thousands of these compounds all over the planet. Depending on which compound you were rbought up in it was your name
for example

U30P was U = the region or zone of the planet you were born in
30 was the order of when the compound accepted you for the year and P was the code letter for the compound in which you were raised

U30P enetred the large compound it was one of the largest for the Region

Urscol city region zone was U so U30P was born in the city. The code letter for the childrens compound in which she worked was X. so all children in this compound had names beginning with U and ending in X

for the first 3 hours of her work she was on the microphones reading a written script of messages of what she had to say over the mircophones that would echoe all around the halls and Healthly Condition (brainwash) the children

It was a small room with black machines equipment that was stuck on the walls. U30P sat on a small chair reading a list of phrases on the holographic computer screen. she spoke into the microphone

'Do your best for the party and sevre the values of URSCOL, the party gave us life we owe our lives to the party, Love the party for they are the one thing to love, you are not an individual you are an Urstanian and loyal servant of the party and values of URSCOL, we have the most advanced system in the universe dont question it'

and so she went on for 3 hours in a never ending praise of the system that was continually blared out over the speakers even when the children were working thorugh text books or reading quietly the voice of U30P was all around the compound

eventually it was lunch break. The staff sat seperate from the children.

The caffeteria was cold and metal and sterile like everything else. They all ate thier ration of the coloured paste in the white tubs.

Next U30P was to supervise a class of 100 who sat in rows of desks reading quietly over thier history text books. Another woman had began speaking over the microphones the list of praising slogans to the party and URSCOL.

U30P and another teacher, a male walked slowly up and down the rows, the children sat in perfect silence, not one of them had an expression on thier faces other then that of intense concentration.

The man in the Hall of Procreation was still stuck in her mind. she had never felt anything like that before and she realized that she desired him. Marriage was on the verge of being abolished with organizations like the Purity League which preached abstenence forever and the League of Births which was no sexual partners other then for the purpose of giving as many children as possible to the party. once you had signed up to one of these organizations it could not be undone and marriage was forever out of the question.

Instead marriage was becoming less common. people of the opposite sex moved in and that was all. Instead of assigning maritial partners like they did a decade ago they instead recommended joining one of the Leagues

U30P left the compound after work and went straight home. In the court yard in the center of the 3 apartment blocks committees formed community volunteer groups. U30P always volunteers. This evening they were doing combat training with large poles to "train them in combatting aggressive party enimies in the section"

U30P then went up to her flat, ate her ration of dinner and watched a small bit of the Wallscreen.

It was currently showing a dramatic re-enactment of the revolution 82 years ago with a heroic figure of Richard Mirus the founder of URSCOL and the party
who apparently died by assassination in year 1 of party rule

(All these were lies, Richard Mirus never existed, there was never a revolution it was a coup, URSCOL was created a year after the coup not 40 years before the revolution like the party claimed. The Name Richard Mirus hadnt been heard of before year 22 of the party rule. He was simply created by the party to make it appear more heroic)


.................................................................................................... ....

U30P was face to face with the man from the Hall Procreation. His deep brown eyes stared into hers, she felt almost as if she could melt into his arms.
She burrowed her face into his chest then she heard a harsh iron voice
U30P you have been re-classed as a Class D citizen, sexual deviation is a serious offense, she looked up and saw that the man she was hugging was Richard Mirus, she stumbled back a loud, blaring sound surrounded her, youths in the grey uniform trampled over her, they were blowing horns then the blaring sound drilled into her brain, she woke up, it was just a dream

She quickly stepped out into the lound where the blaring alarm stopped and the Wallscreen jumped to life
U30P was annoyed she had to wait for Hour 12 of the day, she was eager to meet the man and know him better even if her dream snapped her into reality that such a meeting with its abnormal behaviour becuase of curiousity, desire and lust she was still so eager to meet him.

She got on with her exercises in the courtyard, took the box looking transport ship to the X Childrens compound. she was dissapointed to find that until hour 12 she was stuck with the boring job of speaking in the microphone all those slogans and phrases. She always accepted a job with enthusiam however to keep up her apearance of a loyal Class A citizen.

She finished work at Hour 12 and she was happier, she was going to meet the man.

.............................................................................................

U30P mavigated her way around the large, grand halls of the Hall of URSCOL history. Its large high cealings and grand columns made her feel insignificant.

She passed lots of rooms, exhibits of statues, URSCOL sculptures, grand paintings which clearly showed the ideology of the people and other peices of art and wonder.

She evtually reached a large Mirus Records Hall. Apparently Richard Mirus wrote hundreds of thousands articles and texts that were saved and stored in this grand hall.

U30P scanned the room for any traces of the man, she saw the tall dark haired figure over by the the Pre-Revolution text's.

She began browsing along the rows of books so it didnt look to suspicious and eventually made her way over to the man until she was standing next to him, he continued looked into a book he was holding but muttered quietly

'Over to the reading room, grab a text, look interested and meet me in the reading room' he said quetly

She grabbed a book, viewed over it with fake interest, it was some text about the colonial injustices and then walked over to the reading room

The small room was empty. 5 of these small rooms were spread out evenly around the outside of the Mirus Records Hall. It was a small room with a round table in the center and with some sofa's around the outside.

Only U30P and the man were in the room. A Wallscreen was active due to the projector on the cealing in which there was most definatly a camera watching the room. The wall screen was playing some quiet, militaristic music with the letters URSCOL on the projected image on the wall.

'there is a camera, but it cant hear what we are saying' said the man still in an almost whisper

'what is your code?' said U30P

'U888K, what about yours?' he replied

'I'm U30P' there was an awkward silence then U888K spoke up

'You should get a permit to visit my house, it will be allowed, I want to talk with you and know you better' he said

'I'm doing volunteer work for the Young Patriots Brigade at Hour 13' she said pointing to a digital clock sticking out the middle of the round table they were sitting at. it showed 12:25 on it

'what do you think of me?' he said

'An eccentric citizen, possibly a Class C citizen, your behavour is strange' she said

'Then you must be just as strange, you agreed to meet and you didnt do your duty to inform on my behaviour, By the way I'm a Class B citizen' he said

there was another gap of silence

'what do you think of me then?' she said curiously

'beautiful.... Class A citizen, or at least a phony one...' she interupted him not letting him finish his sentence

'Phony!? what do you mean by that!?' she said

'its not a bad thing, you mouthed the words but havnt followed through with it, You did come here to meet already that makes you a sexual devient'

'you made me curious, if the Loyalty Squad catch me I can always say you pressured me into it' she said defensivly

'calm down, I'm not a bad guy, will you be willing to meet again?' he said

'....yes' the man gave a small laugh after she said it

'I guess you cant think i'm that bad'

The two talked a bit more about where they lived and worked, U30P spoke about working in a childrens compound and he talked about working in a Munitions factory joining some kind of grenade peices together

He was a member of the League of Births and was only 3 years older then U30P at only 26 years old.

They then left. U30P liked being early for her jobs leaving at 12:45

The rest of the day consisted of leading the columns of children around the city and sticking up posters and chanting and singing as they walked around the streets.

At one stage at about 4 in the after noon (or Hour 16) they were passing through Purity Square when a mob of people started running frantically across the square from all direction, gathering in the center. They were screaming and chanting.

"URSCOL and the Party will save us! Destroy, Hunt down, crush enimies of the party!"

It was a gathering of over 500 Loyalty Squad members with thier white armbands, they were forming another "Sponenous show of support" for the party. The children broke the column formation to join in the demonstration.
U30P also ran over and began joining in with the fish waving, chanting, screaming and sloganearing.

The children were the most fanatical, Jumping, screaming and chanting the loudest that U30P was stuck there longer then planned as she had to wait for the children to all be admitted into the Loyalty Squad. They gave vows for doing thier duty and had thier white arm bands tied around thier arms.

Luckily U30P was not pressured into joining. She was worried for a second that the children would harrass her and pressure her to join otherwise they would denounce her but luckily she was able to leave the demonstration with the children, finish stiking up posters and then make it back to the compound and go home.

U30P was sitting in "Utopia Hall" Once a week all citizens had to take part in a ritual of intense mind altering, propaganding and indoctrination.

It was a massivly large hall which was completely white in colour. Its cealing was very high and at the end of the hall was one wall which had a grand projection on it, currently is was just a picture with the words URSCOL across it.

There were rows of seats lining the Hall. they too were white in colour and sort of resembled lazy boy type seats that were always fixed to lean back.

Everyone was sitting in thier seats when a cylinder raised out of the arm rest of the chair. Everyone picked up the cylinder and twisted open the top where everyone skulled the liquid, it was a light purple liquid. There were also pills floating around in the liquid.

Instantly the drugs were taking effect on U30P. She felt like she was in a state of bliss. She felt a rediculous smile stretch across her face, she thought about nothing except her happiness and her current high feeling. Her eyes also felt heavier.

Blissful music then began streaming through the speakers. It was almost operatic with a heavenly woman's voice singing. The projection on the massive wall began changing and another voice, a soft mans voice began speaking over the operatic music.

'You mind is clear, The party wants to perfect you mind. Your thoughts are being perfected. At this moment you love life, there is nothing to question in our perfect society'

The pictures on the projection changed to some workers in a factory. In unison they were hammering something on a large converyerbelt. it seemed to be slowed down, the rythem of the workers hammering in unity only seemd to relax U30P even more. The image then changed to a procession of Urstanian gymnasts. they were doing fowards flips and cartwheels in unison but in slow motion. A beating sound was starting to emerge it sounded like a beating of a heart. The voice continued talking

'We are a society always marching towards a perfect utopia, our minds, our hearts our actions always thinking, beating and moving together. We are one unit, a mass family. Love, the word only used to describe you live, you love your work, the party. Never forget the collective mind's of the party leadership is always working for you. Work hard. The party has accomplished many things collectivly and there will be nothing the party cant do, You, the people can accomplish many things as a collective...'

For at least 2 hours the soft voice spoke with the operatic music in the background and the blissful pictures of the best parts of society playing. When it ended the people shuffled lazily out of the hall

U30P felt like a kind of jelly, her muscles were relaxed, Her mind was was full and swimming with thoughts of bliss, her happy life, her mood was so good she remembers never feeling discontent she thought about how the party claimed she had a happy life and in her current state didnt question that claim.

As she was walking lazily down the street U888K.
It had been 3 days since they last encountered eachother in the Mirus Records Hall. He had also just come out of Utopia Hall. She immediatly looked into his eyes.

His eyelids came down half way and his pupils were large, round and black and drugs must of dialated them.

'Hello U30P' he said slowly and dreamily

'I am very well, thank you U888K, how are you?' she replied

'I am also doing very well'

'are you interested to meet me again?' she said

'Such thoughts do not enter my mind at this stage, I think I have work to attend to' he said in still a lazily, dreamy tone

'Very good brother, I have work to attend to also, I shall see you around'

The two then seperated and went their different ways.
The weekly druggings were a new event. Before year 70 they did the same sort of 2 hours brain washing but not involding drugs. its only been teh last 12 years they have used mind controlling and altering drugs.

The party is currently working on a plan to keep their subjects in such a state of bliss permanently. Head scientists are working on a drug that would be so powerful it would make the subject fall under its power for a whole week but until this drug is perfected they are considering have the weekly druggings to occur daily however it would be very disruptive to the daily runnings of the planet to take 2 hours out of every day where they could be working.

After about 8 hours the drug was beginning to wear off U30P
she was beginning to allow her own thoughts to flood into her brain. before it was only thoughts of what had been shown and said to her in that 2 hours of conditioning. Not only where her thoughts coming back to her but she wanted them to come back to her. Instead of thinking about her blissful condition she began thinking more of U888K and other of her own thoughts

'When can i meet him again, I supose I should have an early visit to the Hall of Procreation ' etc

2 days had passed since her session at Utopia Hall. Work had to be maximized. more hours were being put in. It was all in the name of the Parties new declaration of the successful end of the 7th 10 year plan.

The party declared taht for a head start for the 8th, 10 year plan everyone must work harder and faster.

U30P had volunteered extra time in a fabric factory. U30P managed over a large machine which spat out neat squares of fabric, she controlled the fabric colour, size and pattern with the machine. She found it much more interesting then the work at the Childrens compound she even put in an application to change her place of work. It would give her an answer to her request in a week.

A man with a stong, square face walked up to U30P

'Sister! The orders are in, here is your targets, work hard, I will collect your end of production report for the day at Hour 18 (6pm)'

U30P looked over the paper.

Hour 1 = 50/red/no pattern - 50/white/no pattern - 50/grey/no pattern

Hour 2 = 50/red/Pattern#1 - 50/white/Pattern#1 - 50/grey/Pattern#1

The list continued down the page with the same instructions. The Target number of what is to be produced, its color and if it had a pattern

Operating the machine was no hard task. it simply required pushing the right combination and leaving the machine to do its work until it had produced its 50 then you had to push the fabrics into a large hovering bin which would sped off to take the fabrics to a different department. then the process would be repeated.

After work she went home using the metalic box transporter.

Upon getting home the wall screen jumped to life. it was blaring the theme song to the 10 year plane. some victorious trumpet tune with this choir of strong and stern voices in the background

'we give our all for the party
and in return live in prosperity
URSCOL gives us clothes and fuel
resources and warmth
with all our effort
and the strong arm of the people
we will triumph over the battle
we will produce and out-produce
and grow from stregnth to stregnth!'

Then this woman was seen on the screen. she was a thin woman and a large number of graphs flipped past the screen. all of them curved up to show mass progress. It was hard to tell if it was the truth, life never felt any different after every plan. this thought came into U30P's mind before she pushed it out of her head

The woman began speaking. she had quite a low tone of voice though it would jump high after certain words as she was very enthusiastic

'Here are the figures brothers and sisters! beginning with the classes of the people here are the results.

Percentage of class A citizens has increased by 5% in the last 3 years going from 14% to 19%

Percentage of Class D citizens has decreased by 15% in the last 3 years

the party predicts the entire population to be Class A statsu by year 130 of the revolution

25% in anti party crimes......'

The woman continued talking about the crimanal and social effects of the 10 year plan. basically the result was the same. lower crimes, larger number of loyal citizens. larger number of "Citizens doing thier patriotic duty" to inform on criminals

after 60 minutes of talking about the results of the 7th, 10 year plan she then began talking about the new 8th, 10 year plan about to begin later this week she eneded her report with

'The Party's personal goal of fulfilling all power and electrical needs was fulfilled'

(each 10 year plan the party set one personal goal which always had to be beaten)

She began her introduction to the 8th 10 year plan by saying

'The Party's personal goal for the 8th, 10 year plan is to fulfill all food needs and eliminate starvation and malnutrition'

In the 8th, 10 year plan the party also had new higher targets and quota's set. more houses had to be produced, more units of clothing and furnature had to be made and books had to be abolished by year 85 of the revolution and replaced with information carrying technology

U30P had a satasfied smile on her face listening to the voice stating the glorious achievements of the 7th, 10 year plan and how it was the most successful 10 year plan in the hisotory of Urstania.

U30P rememberd back to year 72 of the revolution when she was a young 14 yearold sitting in a row of desks in the childrens compound listening to the end of the 6th, 10 year plan. She remebers vaguely a voice stating that the 6th 10 year plan was the most successful in the history of Urstania too!

U30P snapped back into the present and ate her tub of rations (the paste in the white tub) before going to bed
